yes, you need to create your collection of recursively working Commands of things like EntityAlpha, EntityFX, EntityColor etc.

Example:


Function EntityAnimColor(m,r,g,b)
 If EntityClass$(m)="Mesh"
  EntityColor m,r,g,b
 Endif
 For i=1 to CountChildren(m)
  ww=GetChild(m,i)
  EntityAnimColor(ww,r,g,b)
 Next
End Function

or

Function EntityAnimAlpha(m,a#)
 If EntityClass$(m)="Mesh"
  EntityAlpha m,a#
 Endif
 For i=1 to CountChildren(m)
  ww=GetChild(m,i)
  EntityAnimAlpha(ww,a#)
 Next
End Function

(The EntityClass check is done because you cannot set Alpha on bones, and children may be bones sometimes)
